... Read moreLiving through your mid-twenties often feels like being at a crossroads, especially when facing what many call a "quarterlife crisis." It’s a time filled with uncertainty, growth, and the challenge of navigating new adulthood responsibilities. One key aspect that resonates deeply is "the art of the pivot"—the ability to shift your mindset, goals, or career path when things don’t go as planned. Personally, I found this concept vital during my mid-twenties. Whether it was switching career directions or redefining personal priorities, embracing flexibility helped me manage anxiety and find renewed purpose. Many in Gen Z and millennials can relate, balancing the pressures of societal expectations while carving their authentic path. Sharing experiences and humor around these struggles, like in this episode, helps normalize the ups and downs of the twenties journey. It reminds us that it’s okay not to have everything figured out right away. Engaging in communities discussing #quarterlifecrisis or #genz life challenges fosters support and insight. If you’re navigating this phase, remember: pivoting is not failure; it’s adaptation. Embrace changes, learn from setbacks, and keep moving forward. This mindset can transform a mid-twenties crisis into a powerful catalyst for growth and self-discovery.

HOW TO : make friends in your twenties
Making friends in your twenties can be HARD...don't get me wrong. For me, the hardest part was getting out of college and still either... 1. having friends still in college or going to additional schooling 2. friends moving to different cities, towns, or states 3. friends at different stages

As a busy student, having your life organized to the T is an absolute MUST! I’m a very Type A individual - which I didn’t know about until I headed back to school in my mid twenties - and it’s like my brain itches unless I have my whole life planned out. And who doesn’t like making things look cute

Mid 20s so far
26 has been teaching me things no one prepared me for. It’s not just about reaching goals — it’s about unlearning, healing, letting go of who I thought I had to be. I’m not behind. I’m not lost. I’m becoming. I’m learning to love the in-between, even when it’s uncomfortable. Here’s to the soft
